Midweight Strategist

We’re looking for a Midweight Strategist driven by insight and conviction. One who isn’t here to play it safe, but to help brands break from average.

About the role

You’ve got an appetite for big picture problems that need creative thinking to solve.

As a mid-level strategist, you reliably surface unexpected insights and fresh ideas around culture, people and commerce. You see and notice things many wouldn’t. You express your point of view with clarity and simplicity.

We don’t expect you to have all the answers, yet we do expect you to thrive in a team-based environment and have strong collaboration and communication skills.

You enjoy working within a collaborative, curious team and your colleagues know you to be a dependable, sleeves-rolled-up kind of person.

You have some experience running research with stakeholders or focus groups and you quickly turn desk research into valuable ideas. You’re starting to own brand positioning projects and you’re a natural for spotting good ideas and shaping them.

You're curious about emerging technology, and are embracing AI in a range of forms to increase the quality, rigour and impact of your strategic output.

We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone can feel appreciated for who they are and supported in their personal and professional growth. We encourage applications from people who may not necessarily ‘fit’ the typical branding agency mould. We’re looking for creative people looking for something different, because we are too.

While we have a flexible approach to remote working, we have a studio-first culture. With everyone on the team spending a minimum of 24 hours a week in the studio.

About you

• You’re diligent, positive, and creative. Keen to use a wide frame of reference to generate and strengthen ideas.
• Like most strategists, your interests and influences go beyond the world of branding and advertising.
• Your talent comes without ego. You see collaboration as a way to make ideas bigger and better.
• And you chase your own dreams but want to be part of something bigger.

Salary

From £45,000 depending on experience.
